[paulh]

Guys,

Following a disaster with the painting on my Trumpy Osorio - I need to strip it back to the base coat (at least and possbly the palstic).
Problem is I've use Tamiya rasttle can paint i.e TS range stuff.

Any advice on how I can get this stuff off without totally melting the plastic will b e very graciously received!

TIA

Hi Paul!! Not 100% but I am remembering someone using oven cleaner. THis would remove the paint back to the plastic. I will try and find the article unless someone chimes in here with either a better way or a confirmation to the OC.

Thanks Fellas.
Will give that a go when I get home. I knew That overn cleaner was in the cupboard for something other than the oven.

l 'll let you know how I get on with that.

Hi Paul,
I've successfully removed the the TS paint by soaking the kit overnight in a washing powder solution. I use Persil but I bet any would work.
Mix a saturated solution, ie until the powder stops dissolving in warm water then simply submerg the kit and leave overnight.
The paint should wash off or only need a light rub with a brush and the surface is grease free ready for another try

If that fails, oven cleaner it is

Steve, that sounds like a safer option to start with.
Thank you.

Hey Paul, I find fairy power spray get rid of any paint, with a little water and a tooth brush! Sorted

I'll ask the little woman to pick up some Mr Muscle tomorrow and see how it works out. Thanks all.

Not that I've had much occasion to strip paint, , but when I have had to do it,the Fairy power spray in the bag trick,normally does for me!

watch out with the oven cleaner stuff though. If you leave it on for too long it also disolves CA glue, ruined my first Afrika Tiger with that. And primer paints won't come off using it

Cheers
